Noticing students’ mathematical thinking

Abstract

We summarize results obtained by the Didactics of Mathematics research group at the University of Alicante on the competence of professional noticing. The research focused on three issues over the last years: (i) characterizing how the skills that make up professional noticing interrelate; (ii) characterizing different degrees of competence development; and (iii) identifying contexts that support this competence development. Main results are described along with future challenges.
